Mee too! some good exciting racing on there - Bird was so stoked after beating Perkins. booked tickets yesterday for the Int Track Cycling Grand Prix here in Perth in March looking forward to that - it was very good last year.

Exactly. SBS coverage of the TDU is assumed. Channel 9 coverage is new and as one of the biggest cycling events in Aus, already has reach.

Track is still a niche sport and outside the realm of popular media, except when it comes to Olympic Gold Medal tallies. I admit that while I knew of the Track Championships, I didn't know that it was being televised before you mentioned it.

Nein has no sports leadership. They are destroying the goodwill they've built in league and cricket. 7's overtaken them in ratings...they are floundering. If Gina Rinehart bought 9 she could be lobbied (but she doesn't strike me as a sports fan of any sort). Pity she's more interested in Fairfax.
